Citrix Online GoToMyPC Goes Mac, iPhone

Months after Webexs PCNow, Citrix is about to launch a Mac and iPhone version of its remote PC service

Months after Webex's PCNow, Citrix is about to launch a Mac and iPhone version of its remote access PC service

GoToMyPC is finally catching up to remote desktop service rival PCNow by Cisco/Webex.

Last week I met with Citrix Online’s general manager Bernardo de Albergaria at the Synergy conference in Las Vegas, where he showed the beta version of the GoToMyPC service for Mac.

And no, it will not be called GoToMyMac!

“I don’t think Mac users will mind our original name,” jokes De Albergaria.

The Santa Barbara, Calif.-independent division of Citrix also confirmed it is working on an iPhone version, as well as other platforms (perhaps Google’s Android).

“We’re working on an iPhone and other platforms. We have to make sure we do it with a great user experience in mind, and not because everybody is doing it. A lot of people are doing it just to say I have an iPhone app and put a “smack” on their homepage and it becomes the main value proposition versus what the product is. So we’ll have an iPhone application of our products whenever we are able to develop a great user experience,” added Albergaria.

Expect to see both the Mac and iPhone apps coming up this year, still 2-years after PCNow!
